    The cornerstone of Vitalitree’s skin care formulations is the stem bark of the tree known traditionally by the Mayan name of “Tepezcohuite”.
    Its historical use by the indigenous Mayan people dates back over a thousand years, and it is still used to this day by South and Meso-American naturopaths, doctors, herbalists, curanderos, and other healers.
    Tepezcohuite has often been used on a wide variety of skin conditions, burns, and injuries. As a medicinal salve for healing tattoos, it works with unparalleled efficacy and speed.

    We also carry a gentle foaming cleanse which utilizes several unique plant derived ingredients to provide gentle cleansing and light exfoliation. The main ingredient in this is Quillaja Saponaria. This evergreen native to Central Chile is known as the “Soap Bark” tree due to its large content of foamy soap like compounds called saponins. Great as a facial wash, this can help moisturize the skin and prevent or reduce acne. It’s also excellent for tattoo aftercare in conjunction with the Tattoo Salve.
